The men of the Bastion Club proved their bravery secretly fighting for
their country. Now their leader faces that most dangerous mission of
all: finding a bride.
As the mysterious leader of the Bastion Club known as "Dalziel," Royce
Varisey, tenth Duke of Wolverstone, served his country for decades,
facing dangers untold. But as the holder of one of England's most august
noble titles, he must now take on that gravest duty of all: marriage.
Yet the young ladies the grand dames would have him consider are
predictably boring. Far more tempting is his castle's willful and
determinedly aloof chatelaine, Minerva Chesterton. Beneath her serene
façade lies a woman of smoldering sensuality, one who will fill his days
with comfort and his nights with sheer pleasure. Determined to claim
her, he embarks on a seduction to prove his mastery over every inch of
her body . . . and every piece of her heart.
